Officials from the Disabled Student Resource Center said, “Although we are implementing helpers for students with disabilities and making facility improvements, greater understanding and interest from the school members are what the students need the most,” and “we hope the students without disabilities can provide more cooperation in their daily lives such as yielding to students with disabilities for elevator use, correct etiquette toward guide dogs of visually impaired students, and consideration for students with disabilities during class (front seats, note-taking for disabled students, etc.).”

In addition, they announced they will make efforts toward improving the satisfaction of school life for students with disabilities, reinforcement of fellowship with helpers, and better special healthcare programs in connection with The Research Institute of Women＇s Health as well as asking for more interest and participation of the school members in the disabilities education which is being conducted each year.
